In the profiles on our membership sign up or event registration forms, people often enter their name and address without using uppercase letters eg .

mary moriarty
12 smith road

Although this is how thay have chosen to enter the info, it looks rather unprofessional if emails, professional developement certificates and items we post to them have the name and address written like that.

It would be great if when someone clicks on Confirm Payment at the bottom of a contribution page, "something"  ( a hook??) would  change the first letters of the first_name and last_name to uppercase, Title Case the street address and ( for our needs a least) convert the entire city field to upper case.

People would then have the chance to add further changes eg if their surname is McNeil and they enter mcneil and on the confirmation page they see Mcneil, perhpas they would be prompted to go back and change it to McNeil.

There would be negatives ( eg van den Hoff would become Van den Hoff) but overall it would be an improvement on the mess we currently get.

Has anyone done anything like this?

If not how do you deal with people entering everything in lowercase.

Hi,

We have done something like that (mix of js & hook), but was specific for a client. Would be great to push it as an extensions. Would you have the dev resources to adapt our code (or budget to let us do it)?

X+

What I did if I recall was to check if it was all lowercase or all uppercase, and in the js uppercase the first letter (so the contact can see what we want and fix)

on the hook, did the same. So as long as you have one upper and one lower, it's not corrected, otherwise it is.

For the org, we had a slightly modified rule (so ACME goes through).

It does indeed X, can you make it available or should we take this on board in the sprints?
